Chapter 294: A word wakes up the person in the dream
After that, the queen mother turned to look at the emperor: Your Majesty, haven't you ever issued an edict saying that you owe something to the harem concubines, I think today's reward ceremony is a good opportunity for you to make up for a debt, these harem concubines have been with the emperor for many years It is not easy, I think you personally give them this honor, they will definitely be grateful, and it can also make the civil and military people feel the harmony between the concubines and the emperor in my palace, do you say okay? ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Ru, who didn't want to accept the throne, and was anxious in his heart, not knowing what to do, his eyes lit up when he heard the queen mother's words, and the queen mother was polite, and today the emperor personally sent them the clothes and jewelry for the reward. ”
The hierarchy system of the harem of the Great Yuan Kingdom is still relatively strict, and each corresponding level of concubines has their own corresponding headdresses, headdresses and shoes, of course, in which the queen is the most noble, and the imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, etc. are slightly reduced in turn.
All the concubines were overjoyed when they heard that the emperor personally awarded them clothes and jewelry, and it was a great honor to let the emperor personally award it, and when I thought of this, the depressing atmosphere of being almost stabbed by Concubine Ru dissipated a lot. It seems that the excitement in Hehuan Palace has returned to the excitement just now.
After the emperor personally issued all the concubines who had been ordained, he announced a holy decree: From now on, it is enough for me to have these concubines, and all future drafts will be cancelled, and all women of appropriate age can freely choose to marry, and the royal family will not interfere.
The issuance of this holy decree surprised the queen mother, you must know that almost all emperors like young and beautiful concubines no matter how old they are, and the emperor's holy decree is clearly to tell everyone that he will guard the original concubines in the palace in the future, even if they are old and decrepit, they will not have the mind to accept concubines.
After all the cumbersome reward ceremonies passed, the Queen Mother arranged a light song and dance, in the melodious singing and beautiful dancing of the ladies, all the feelings in their hearts are different, even if the concubines who were enshrined are beaming on the surface but still trembling inside, the scene of the assassination of the concubine just now is still emerging in front of me, and the cheerful atmosphere will not be whitewashed by everyone for the Queen Mother and the Emperor to see.
The queen mother and the emperor are also very clear about each other, and announced the end of the reward ceremony after the light song and dance. Watching the Queen Mother and the Emperor leave first, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, under the leadership of the new queen, all the people in the palace came out in order.
The sixth prince and Zhang Youtao also accompanied the queen back to her own palace, and the harem decided that the queen would live in Kunning Palace, which was closest to the emperor's palace, but because Concubine Ru had lived in her palace for almost 20 years and didn't want to leave, the emperor specially ordered that Concubine Ru's palace be renovated as the new queen's bedroom.
After returning to her palace, Concubine Ru immediately sent her henchmen to guard the gate of the outer palace, and asked her personal maid to wait for her to change clothes in the side hall.
"Mother, do you feel that something is wrong now, or let the Imperial Doctor come and see you?" The sixth prince looked at his mother's pale face and said worriedly.
"No need, just after the queen was sealed, I will find the imperial doctor to come over, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will know that he is going to gossip again, it's better to have more than one thing!" Rufei shook tiredly and said.
Zhang Youtao walked up to Concubine Ru: "Please allow me to take your pulse for you, if the queen mother is frightened, you must take care of it, otherwise it will be easy to have insomnia or nightmares at night!" As she spoke, she put her hand on Concubine Ru's pulse, she sighed after a while, asked Yucui and Yinhuan to take the pen and paper and prescribe a prescription, and then instructed the personal maid beside Concubine Ru to grab the medicine.
"Tao'er, is your mother okay?" The sixth prince couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw her brushing a little bit on the paper.
"It's okay, Niangniang is just a little frightened, just take some tranquilizers!" Zhang Youtao looked at the six princes and said with a smile.
"The son is useless, he didn't protect his mother, please punish his mother!" The sixth prince's eyes were red and he knelt in front of Concubine Ru.
"What are you talking about, no one thought of what happened today, and besides, with Miss Peach protecting me, I don't have anything to do, don't blame yourself, get up quickly!" Concubine Ru hurriedly helped the six princes up.
"There is a way that the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, it seems that we have to clean up the people who have served the former queen and the eldest prince, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future!" Zhang Youtao said with a serious expression.
"Yes, the last thing I want to do in my life is to hurt others, but I don't hurt others but I am always hurt by others, people with a discerning eye know that the queen and the eldest prince are hiding our mother and son, and they have calculated themselves, but there are still people in the palace who hold a grudge against me, in their eyes, as long as our mother and son get benefits, it is wrong, only if they are pressed and can't turn over and are at their mercy, they will feel comfortable!" Concubine Ru frowned and felt very helpless.
Suddenly, Zhang Youtao looked at Concubine Ru and knelt down.
"Niangniang, the six princes and I know that you just want to live a quiet life and don't want to get involved in the grievances of the harem, but you can't be alone in the harem, for example, today you were almost assassinated by the green screen, if it wasn't found in time, it's hard to say whether your current life can be saved, and who can you reason with if you are killed for no reason? I have always believed that only when you are strong can others reason with you, and if you are weak, no one will reason with you. So Niang Niang must be strong, can't let others have the opportunity to hurt you, now that the emperor has named you the queen, you must come out as the queen in Taidu, both generous and benevolent and strict with the law, and the combination of rigidity and softness can make the people of the harem obey you. The Six Princes and I can't stay by your side all the time, and it is up to your own mind to protect yourself. ”
Concubine Ru listened to Zhang Youtao's words and had a feeling of waking up like a dream, she was silent for a while and said: "Miss Tao'er is right, I can't be as weak as before, I have to be strong and show the appearance of being a queen, both the ability to protect myself and my emperor from harm." ”
At this time, the palace maid brought the boiled tranquilizer over, Zhang Youtao tested it with a silver needle and there was no problem, after serving the concubine and taking the medicine, Zhang Youtao and the six princes retired, and when they left, the six princes left their strong martial arts and very vigilant guards outside the palace gate for emergencies, and then the two of them returned to their palaces.
After arriving at his own dormitory, after the sixth prince asked Feng Yi to guard the outer door and close the inner door, he looked at Zhang Youtao and said, "Did you already know that Green Screen would assassinate your mother, so you would be ready early, since you knew, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Looking at the faint anger on the face of the sixth prince, Zhang Youtao replied unhurriedly: "I didn't know that the green screen would stab the mother, I just felt something was wrong when I got up this morning, and I couldn't tell what was wrong, so I prepared in advance, I didn't expect it to come in handy." ”
"Next time you feel something is wrong, you must tell me, you almost scared me to death today!" The sixth prince hugged Zhang Youtao and sighed and said.
Zhang Youtao felt that he was trembling all over, and knew that he was still afraid, but in fact, she was also quite afraid, if she didn't shoot in time and was exploited by the green screen...... It's chilling to think about!
"I know, next time I feel wrong, I'll tell you in advance, as long as you believe I'm not talking nonsense." Zhang Youtao said softly.
"Why are you so stupid, you've known each other for so long, I don't know who you are, anything you say is not groundless, even if your hunch is not accurate, I won't blame you for it." The sixth prince said while caressing Zhang Youtao's black hair.
"By the way, what you said today has a great impact on my mother, since I knew that my mother would be sealed, I have been worried in my heart, I am afraid that my mother's weakness will not support the queen's prestige and will be jealous and excluded by the people in the palace, if she can be strong after listening to your words, I will be much more relieved!"
"In fact, Concubine Niangniang is a very smart woman, if it weren't for so many years of Taoguang and obscurity, judging the time, it would be difficult for your mother and son to survive with the queen's viciousness, do you know, when I gave you the poison in your body, there was a special drug that cleverly suppressed the toxicity in your body and made you show that you were terminally ill, which made the queen and the eldest prince relax their vigilance, do you think who would take such pains to protect your thoughtfulness?" Zhang Youtao raised her head and looked at the six princes fixedly.
"Are you saying that my mother did this, and my mother has always been very weak by my side, crying and crying at every turn, she still has such a scheming?" The six princes looked incredulous.
Zhang Youtao smiled slightly and did not answer. The appearance of the concubine who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger can only deceive the emperor and the people in the harem, for her, who has crossed over from now and has seen through the wind and waves, she can see through it at a glance, and the people who can survive in the harem are not simple people whether they are proud or frustrated, and those whose IQs are not online have already been eliminated.
At this moment, I heard Feng Yi's cough again: "Your Highness, is it convenient for you now, I have something to tell you!" ”
The sixth prince frowned when he heard Feng Yi's words, and let go of Zhang Youtao without a trace. Zhang Youtao raised her eyebrows: "If you have anything, come in and talk about it!" ”
